weekend

a couple of friends spent last weekend with me... we did some fast eddie's on friday and some breakfast, grilling, and home-run derby on saturday. i love these guys... we've grown up together, gone to school together, played in moderately successful bands together (right), lived together at college, launched water balloons and pin-pointed them on innocent bystanders from roughly 75 yards away, and lots and lots of other crazy stuff. here's to carson and brian for putting up with me for several years.

tribute

This one goes out to my buddy Danny, who is doing some AWESOME stuff out at Saddleback, as the PEACE Coordinator for student ministries. Keep up the good work, Danny! (this dude is a big deal... we're talking regular meetings with Rick and/or Kay Warren...)

Danny and I used to work together at Central Christian Church in Mt. Vernon, IL, until school kind of forced me in a different direction and this job sent him down a different road. He is one of those people that I call if I am feeling down about where I am at... he is somehow able to inject me with hope; to get me out of my 'local bubble' and see the big picture and the role that we all play in it. We will work together again someday...
